Area of Science:

  • Healthcare research
  • Patient experience
  • Infectious disease epidemiology

Background:

  • The COVID-19 pandemic presented significant challenges to healthcare systems globally.
  • Increased patient workload and equipment shortages impacted the delivery of patient-centered care.
  • Maintaining patient dignity and satisfaction became a critical concern during the pandemic.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate patient dignity and satisfaction among individuals recovering from COVID-19.
  • To identify factors associated with patient dignity and satisfaction in a pandemic context.
  • To understand the relationship between dignity and satisfaction in COVID-19 patients.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted with 385 recovered COVID-19 patients.
  • Data were collected using demographic, patient dignity inventory, and patient satisfaction questionnaires.
  • Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics, independent t-test, ANOVA, and Spearman-Brown coefficient.

Main Results:

  • The mean age of participants was 50.57 years.
  • Mean scores for patient dignity and satisfaction were 1.62 (±0.65) and 3.85 (±0.55), respectively (on a 5-point scale).
  • Dignity was associated with age, gender, education, underlying disease, and hospital stay duration. Satisfaction was linked to education. A significant direct correlation (r=-0.23, p<0.001) was found between dignity and satisfaction.

Conclusions:

  • Patient dignity and satisfaction are significantly correlated, though satisfaction scores were higher.
  • Demographic and clinical factors influence patient dignity during COVID-19 recovery.
  • Healthcare providers should focus on maintaining patient dignity to enhance overall satisfaction, especially during public health crises.
